Fujimoto, currently deputy group executive of the Global Air Power division, succeeds John Randall who has been promoted to president and CEO of Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co.
He brings extensive experience in leadership, engineering and innovation development and has been instrumental in the building of Hitachi Global Air Power’s global new product development program.
The program harnesses global expertise to drive efficient, customer-focused product innovation. Throughout his tenure at Hitachi, Fujimoto has assumed increasing responsibility, including serving as vice president engineering at Hitachi Global Air Power.
In the coming months, he will be relocating from Tokyo to Michigan City, Indiana.
“Hitachi Global Air Power has been undergoing a significant transformation, and I’m excited to return to the United States and build on the momentum John Randall and the team have created,” said Fujimoto. “The reliability and durability of our compressed air solutions have always been the foundation of our work, and we’ll continue to push innovation forward while staying focused on what matters most – our customers.”
Randall, who has led Hitachi Global Air Power for the past four years, has been pivotal in modernizing the company’s manufacturing capabilities and expanding the company’s go-to-market strategy. In his new role, Randall will oversee the HIES group and relocate to Japan.
“The past four years at Hitachi Global Air Power have been an incredibly rewarding experience,” said Randall. “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a talented and dedicated team and together, we’ve made great strides in transforming the business. I look forward to supporting the company’s continued growth and seeing all the great things ahead.”
